Book Bento Box
I took a fun bookmaking class through my city, where each book was a traditional Japanese design, but each was small enough to fit in a compartment of a bento box (except for my scroll, which ended up a little long 
). In addition to the books, we also learned suminigashi (marbling paper), kumihimo (cord braiding) and koyori (paper twisting). I also learned how to make book cloth, use a tear knife, and various other skills related to general bookmaking.

She couldn’t turn her back on her family in their time of need.

But life with the Plain People took a treacherous turn when a string of accidents and pranks threatened her family. Someone didn’t want the secrets the old house harbored to come to light.

It was for a 30-second commercial spot aired on Google TV to promote "Retribution," the latest chapter in the popular paranormal book series "Dark Hunter" from best-selling author Sherrilyn Kenyon. Such commercials, or so-called book trailers, …
alot of hand work. what media did U use for marblizing?
Ooh, haven’t seen your smallest book yet. It’s so cute and dainty!
grandmabear49: It actually wasn’t a lot of work. The media is water-based inks.
Pet Name: Thanks!
I should take a picture of the binding too, that’s also cute. I like the tea leaves being used as the paper.
Beautiful – and what fun making them – I’ve often thought about trying something like this. Maybe one day…
Cool works, this one is very good.
Have a nice week
Thanks everyone! The class inspired me to want to learn more about bookmaking.
Excellent start to the series,
Andrea Hampton is used to the safety and security of her big city job. However, nothing will keep her from running back to her sister’s side after Rachel is involved in a horrific accident. But helping Rachel and her grandmother open up a bed and breakfast? Ridiculous…and yet that is the position she finds herself in. Carpenter Cal Burke seems willing to help. Just what is going on with this rash of accidents plaguing the inn and its owners?
I read the first two books of The Three Sisters Inn series out of order, but the overall beauty of this series remains intact; HIDE IN PLAIN SIGHT is the first book and an excellent start to the series.
Marta Perry creates such beautiful settings for her tales. HIDE IN PLAIN SIGHT is set in the heart of Amish country. The peaceful setting provides a sharp contrast to the increasingly dangerous attacks on the Hampton family. In fact, the atmosphere accentuates the danger that lurks in this seemingly tranquil environment.
Marta Perry develops characters the reader wants to revisit over and over again. Andrea’s transformation over the course of the book is a joy to behold. The issues of faith are sensitively addressed through the eyes of both Andrea and Cal. The importance of family and friends is especially notable in HIDE IN PLAIN SIGHT.
HIDE IN PLAIN SIGHT is yet another fantastic book from Marta Perry. I am quickly becoming a fan of both Marta Perry and the Love Inspired Suspense line as both evoke such strong emotions. Easily recommended!
